oblivion 5 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 On nights when you're just in at home, not out on the town or meeting friends or anything, WHAT DO YOU DO? I do a mixture of some of these things: - use the computer - read - watch a movie or tv - listen to music and chill - go to the swimming pool stuff like that... Not particularly exciting, I'm just wondering what everyone else does on a boring weekday night?? Link to post Share on other sites
Plucky 0 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Pretty much the same here. I'm such an early riser (4:30-5:00am) that I don't have too many options after work. It's either: -Go surfing (but usually not during Dec/Jan/Feb) -Work on videos (especially this time of the year) -Chat with insomniac friends back in the states on MSN -Read -Computer -Watch a movie. I've done a lot of renting this week. Some real stinkers too. I did watch SWAT tonight and for some reason enjoyed it. Nothing much exciting here either. Heck, I'm in bed usually by 9 Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 - Cook food - Download movies/survivor/xbox games - play xbox games - watch sky tv (usually movies or fox) - shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag I can't get it together to read or study japanese at home, its just a habit thing. Cooking is a new one for me, but I love it cos its interactive and has room for creativity. Plus theres some kind of intellectual challenge in working out how to cook things right, and how to improve stuff etc. Link to post Share on other sites
A Very Boring Man 0 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 Get up at 4:30 - 5? Any particular reason? I struggle getting up at 7:30 Apart from that, pretty similar. I like to cook as well. Link to post Share on other sites

I struggle getting up at 7:30 Apart from that, pretty similar. I like to cook as well. I like to use the daylight. It gets light early up here, especially with no daylight savings. During the late spring/summer/early fall, it's light at 4am or so. That's dawn patrol time (surfing). In the winter, I get up at 4 or 4:30 to go ski on the weekends. I just keep it up during the week too. Go in at 6am, get out of work around 3pm. Gives me some light when I get home to play with the dogs or go to the beach or whatever before the sun sets. Shoot, it's past my bedtime now I'm out of here Link to post Share on other sites
OnTheTin 0 Posted February 27, 2004 Share Posted February 27, 2004 I couldn't imagine doing that, I'm more a night person. Getting up at 8 is a struggle for me Link to post Share on other sites
zebedee 1 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I chill out, rest and have fun. What are evenings for? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 What does 'chill out' actually mean? Isn't that just a histrionic way of saying 'I do sweet f*ck all', but trying to make yourself seem like something of a dude in your free time? Personally I like to read a difficult book about generally unhappy happenings, smoke a cigar, enjoy women dancing with no clothes on, or visit my favourite bar and chat with the barman. But I never chill out because I don't know what that is. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 No, that's called getting stoned. You do that and watch Jackass and give yourself hemarrhoids from laughing. But I don't know what this 'chilling' thing is. Do you have to keep the fridge door open or something? Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderpants 0 Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I spent about one year on St.Croix (u.s.v.i). Whenever you met one of the local rastas, and asked how they were, they were almost always answering "im chillin' out" (have to say it with cruzan accent) always hot there, locals are often to be found under large trees that offers shade. Most rastas are very friendly with maryjane. ATB thunder Link to post Share on other sites
